America's First Serial Killers + Flight 571

  • Summary

  • Welcome to the 43rd episode of Wild Society!

    Among the brutal beginnings of the United States, Micajah and Wiley Harpe were the most brutal of men. They killed women, children - even newborns. Their thirst for blood began as guerrillas for the British against the American colonies during the Revolutionary War. Their murderous path led them to kill whoever stood in their way. Their rage was so vicious even pirates once kicked them out of a secret hideout. This is the story of America's first serial killers, the Harpe Brothers.

    On October 13, 1972 Flight 571 crashed in the Andes Mountains, between Chili and Argentina. This is their survival story.
